Ford in the Canal—Other Loeal Notes of General Interest. The Fourth of July has passed, and a search at the blotter of the seventh pre- cinct station this morning would plaénly re- veal the fact that something had passed. For the forty-eight hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning there were thirty ar- rests made, twenty-three of which were made on the Fourth, a large number being made in the afternoon. There were eignt disorderly cases, three drunks and disor- deriies, three assaulte, four affrays and two arrests for violating the police segula- tions in the shooting off of fireworke. The total number of drunks was limited to three unfortunates. Eugene Pastel, a young white man, was arrested by Policeman Lohman for firing off a pistol in the street loaded with blank cartridges. An extra charge of carryini concealed weapons was placed against hii name, but this charge was not pressed. Wm. ‘A. Smith, a sixteen-year-old colored boy, was the second arrest for violating the police regulations in celebrating the Fourth in too loud a style, Policeman Con- nors arresting him. Julia Bell, a resident of “Boston,” was arrested in the afternoon by Policeman Hess on a charge of disorderly. Just as the woman was being put in the wagon she turned around and made a vicious kick at the face of the officer, fortunately missing the mark. George Perry, another resident, celebrating the Fourth,’ was arrested by Policeman Mutt Edwards for his disorder- ly actions. He grappled with the officer and bit him badly through the hand. At the station house an additional charge of assaulting an officer was placed against his name. There wes considerable excitement Bat- urday afiernoon in “Boston,” in which sey- eral of the female residents and their “gen- tlemen” friends were involved. Policemen Hegs and Trussel, appearing at the scene ime, arrested Lizzie Tyler, Laura Lee, William Brooks and James Mickens on a charge of affray. A quiet game of crap in progress this morning on Water street was broken up by the sudden appearance of Policeman Hil- eary Smith. He caught Henry Green, one of the four participants, and locked him up on a@ charge of disorderly. Barly this morning he arrested Albert Bellams and Isaac Henderson, two more players. Last evening shortly after 10 o'clock Walter 8. Hall, a machinist, was arrested by Po- liceman Harrison for not having a Nght on his bicycle. He was released on $5 col- lateral. A Drowning. Walter T. Ford, a stone cutter, aged twenty-seven, living at 2311 L street, was accidentally drowned Sunday morning in the canal, between 28th and 29th streets. No one saw the drowning and no cries of help were heard. The lock tender near the place of the drowning, on entering upon his duties yesterday morning, found a hat and an eye blind lying on the stone wall at the edge of the canal. A short time later thc lock tender, Charles Cromp, by name, found the body. He hastily seeured it, and noti- fied the police, and Poll > werds, with the wagon, brought the corpse to the morgue at the seventh precinct sta- tion. ‘The coroner was notified of the finding of the body, and soon afterward it was iden- tified. The remains were taken to Gawler's undertaking shop, where an inquest was to have been held, but after hearing the state- ments of a few witnesses the coroner deemed this unnecessary, and gave @ cer- ate of death due to accidental drowning ord Was unmarried, aud lived with his sand brothers. The him tn Mfe was ock, when he Saturday morning about 7 of left his home. He came to Georgetown in the afternoon, met a companion named Michael Fanning, and both were drinking. At half an hour after midnight Fanning en- deavored to get Ford home, but without avail, and finally left him at 2vth and M Streets and went home himeelf. It is sup- posed that immediately after the parting Ford wandered down 20h street and at: tempted to cross the canal by the lock, when he tripped over the tron gate rods overboard. There were no marks of y on his body. The First Trip. The West End Rod and Gun Club took the first trip of the season yesterday and w as far ss Cabin John bridge. The occasion was made a gala one for the club and a number of invited guests enjoyed the hospitality of the club. The boat club- house was moored in the canal near Cabin Jobn run and all dvring the cay there was a steady stream of visitors to inspect ‘he handsome craft. The start was made early in the morning, breakfast bemg served on the boat. Ameng those who took the trip were Messrs. John McKenna, Frank Ash, Henry Weaver, John Franke, Harry Al- brecht, Fred Ockershausen, Walter Mag! der, Henry Haneke, John Coleman, Charies Hughes, Joseph McNally, E. F. bro Daingerfleld Ashtcn and George Clemc: Hard Chase, Policeman Will Hess had a hard chase yesterday at 1 o'clock after Joseph Butler, a negro well known to the police. ‘The ne- gro was seen at the Aqueduct bridge, and he sped up the canal towpath as fast as he could. Officer Hess gave chase and caught his man at the outlet lock, a mile away, the regro falling down exhausted. Butler is wanted by the police on a charge of housebreaking at night. Mr. John Al- brecht, the M street cigar dealer, discov- ered him in his place about ® o'clock in the evening of June hiding in a back room. He caught the negro, but the latter got away, leaving his hat and most of his shirt in the place. He did not have time to steal anything, and since the attempt has been in hiding. Notes. Mr. Jeff Angell, the engineer of No. 5 Engine Company, leaves today to enjoy a ten days’ trip down the river. Mr. Anjscil has been a member of the fire department for twenty-seven years, and for that pe- riod has been with but one company.

Says Our Felicitations Are Mingled With Apprehension. * At the Tammany Soclety’s celebration of Independence day, the following letter of regret from President Cleveland was read: 2 ‘UTIVE MANSION, WASHIN June 22, 1898. “Hon. John C. Sheehan: “Dear Sir: I regret that I am unable to accept the courteous invitation I have re- ceived to attend the celebration by the Tammany Society of the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of American inde- pendence. “The situation that confronts the country and the democratic party at this time in- vests with unusual impressiveness this commemoration of our beginning as a na- tion. When, as appropriate to the o sion, our stupendous advancement is re- called, the fact should not be overlooked that our progress has not been by chance, but is the result of a wise observance of the monetary laws that control national health and vigor: and while we contem- plate with pride the commanding place we occupy among the nations of the earth, we should not forget that this has been gained orly through a jealous preservation of financial soundness and a careful main- tenance of unsuspected public dit. “The high and firm financial ground which we have thus far been able to hold should not be abandoned in the pursuit of @ policy, never attempted without national injury, and whdése bright promise of indi- vidual benefit has never been fulfilled. “If there is anything in present condi- tions that impeaches experience and Indi- cates that we can safely change our pres ent financial standard for free, and Independent coinage of silver, this should be made plainly apparent re such a radical departure finds a place in party creed. “The tremendous consequences of a mis- take in Gealing with the financial question now pressed upon us as democrats should constantly make us thoughtful and solici- tous. “I am confident, therefore, that the voice Assignee’s Sale—Stock of J.
